**SUMMARY
----The profit centers are distinct, yet interdependent
----Everything that is accomplished points back to the beginning - without the genetic base and the delivery system, none of
what Struthers has today would be possible
----Value. A cynic, as the saying goes, is someone who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. An investor's
purpose, though, should be to know both the price and the value of a company's stock.
----Growth. Growth investing is the idea that you should buy stock in companies whose potential for growth in sales and
earnings is excellent. Growth investors look at the underlying quality of the business and the rate at which it is growing in order
to analyze whether to buy it.
----The future and the potential of Struthers Inc. are limited only by the imagination
